AI Summary
This bill enacts the interstate nurse licensure compact of 2021, which allows nurses to hold a multistate license that authorizes them to practice nursing in other party states. The bill establishes procedures for obtaining and retaining a multistate license, grants party states authority to take adverse action against nurses' multistate licenses, creates an interstate commission to administer the compact, and sets forth rule-making procedures. The bill also amends existing state laws to recognize multistate licenses and integrate the compact into Washington's regulatory framework for nursing.
